12 Solo Quadrilles for Flute

Following quite a few requests to offer our Quadrilles for Flute, this edition is not just a transposed version of the Bass Quadrilles but especially set for Flute, including pieces which are not available in the recorder edition.

Originally written for small orchestras or piano, our arrangements for solo flute work so well that it is hard to believe that the pieces weren’t written for the flute in the first place.

Quadrilles were fashionable dances of the late 18th to19th Centuries, performed by four couples in a rectangular formation. They consist of four to six movements (or contredanses, courtly versions of English country dances that had been taken up at the court of Louis XIV and spread across Europe.) and became a craze during the 19th century.

Though hundreds of quadrille sets were composed in the 19th , the names of the five parts (or figures) remained the same, as did the steps and the figures themselves:

Le Pantalon , L’été , La Poule , (Trénis ), La Pastourelle , Finale
